Transferring Stories: A Fairy Tale.

This story is one of my writings that I really enjoy doing it.
It's based on "YES" music video from Acid Black Cherry.
Until now, I still don't understand the relation between the story in the music video and the song's lyric, but I do enjoy both (^^).

. . .

Yasu is the garden fairy. He can only be seen by people who's having a
weak heart. His duty is to accompany the person and make the heart
stronger. One day a little girl greets him. What will become from their
meeting?

“What are you doing here?” Yasu looks around. They were in a vast garden, under the Akasia’s flower.

“Here is,”

“Here is the garden of my home,” told the girl.

“See, that’s my house. I
live there with my dad,” the girls points to a small looking white
house. Yasu looks at the house. Somehow he’s feeling peaceful.

“Anata no namae wa?” ask the girl. Yasu turns to her, thinking.

“You don’t know your name?”

“My name…Ya…Su…”

“Yasu? Your name is
Yasu?” Yasu feels confused. He isn’t sure if that’s really his name. But
he feels familiar with it. He nods slowly.

“I’m Hana,” the girl gives her hand to Yasu.

“It means flower. Nice
to meet you, Yasu-san,” the girl smiles. Yasu is still looking confused.
He looks at the girl’s hand and slowly reaches for it.

…

“I think Yasu-san is an
angel,” said Hana to Yasu. They were sitting under the Akasia’s flower.
The sun gives warm light through the leaves.

“Angel?” Yasu wonders.

“Yes, I think you’re an angel since no one can see you beside me,” told Hana.

It’s been few days since
Hana met Yasu. One day after she’s talking with Yasu, the gardener
approached her and asks what she’s been talking to the flowers. Hana
insisted that she isn’t talking to the flowers and try to describe Yasu
to the gardener. But the gardener only thinks the person name Yasu was
Hana’s imaginary friend.

Yasu keeps still. He
doesn’t understand what he’s doing there with a little stranger girl.
Yasu looks at the flowers on his hand.

“Ha…na…” mumbles him.

“Yes? What’s wrong, Yasu-san?” ask Hana. Yasu stills.

Now he knows the girl in
front of him, the girl who gave him the flowers. Then why for a short
time he forgets about her? Yasu can only stills looking at Hana’s worry
face.

…

Yasu listens to Hana
talking anxiously about what she’s been doing at school. Apparently she
has friends now. She’s been telling Yasu what she has been doing with
her friends. Her face is looking so happy and lively. Yasu only smiles
watching her. But, suddenly his heart asks.

“Who’s the little girl in front of me?”

…

“Yasu-san, what do you
think?” ask Hana as she goes round and round showing off her beautiful
white dress. She’s smiling happily.

“You’re looking beautiful,” said Yasu.

“Thank you, Yasu-san,” Hana smiles sweetly.

“You’ll be going with your friends?”

“Yes, a friend of mine
is having a birthday party and I’m being invited. I’ll be going there,”
told Hana. Yasu smiles to see her so happy.

“I’ll go home as fast as I can and will told you about it,”

“Don’t bother about me, just enjoy the party. I’ll be here waiting for you,” said Yasu. Hana looks at him and nod.

“I’ll be going now. When I get home, I’ll tell you about it,”

“Yes, I can’t wait,”

Hana waves to Yasu and
he waves back. Yasu watches as Hana with her white dress crossing over
the garden and went outside to meet her friends. She’s looking so happy
indeed. Yasu can’t help himself from smiling. Suddenly his visions get
blurry again. Yasu realizes it happened every time Hana talked happily
about her friends.

“What’s going on here?”
ask Yasu to himself. He’s surprised because the images of Hana are
slowly fading away. Her smiles, her laughter, her warms hand, her face,
are slowly fading away when Yasu closes his eyes.

“Ha…na…” calls Yasu weakly.

…

Yasu stood still beside
the Akasia flowers. He has the answer now. The flowers have told him,
the real identity about him and what he’s doing at the garden. Yasu is
the garden fairy. He will show up in front of a person who has
loneliness and sadness inside the heart. Yasu will comfort their heart
and encouraging them. And this time, the person who sees him was Hana,
the little girl that lost her mother and was afraid with the new
environment. It’s Yasu’s duty to be at Hana’s side and encourage her.
And without really realizing it, Yasu has done his job. But, when the
person has started to have happiness, Yasu won’t be needed any longer.
The person will slowly forget about Yasu, and so does with him. It’s the
reason why lately he gets blurry vision and start to losing the image
of Hana. It means his job is almost done.

“For how long this has happening?” ask Yasu.

“It’s been and always like that. It’s what you do. It’s what you are destined to do,” told the flower.

“And Hana-chan will forget about me?”

“Yes, she will. Surely you don’t remember, but no one who has meet you would still have memories about you,”

“Hana-chan will forget about me,” mumbles Yasu.

“You start to get blurry vision, and her images are slowly fade away, it’s the time,” told the flower.

Yasu stills. He’s
thinking for how many times, how many long it has been happening. Yasu
closes his eyes, trying to remember. He can’t. He really doesn’t
remember anything. The only thing that he can still see was Hana’s
smiling face, which it also slowly fading away.

“Hana,” calls Yasu softly. As if he wants to keep remembering about her.

“She has starts to forget about you,” said the flower. Yasu’s heart pumped out. He wants to reach the girl.

“Don’t do that, it’s no
use. She has forgotten about you. Soon, you’ll forget her too,” Yasu
stills. But, he quickly made up his mind.

“No, I won’t let that happen,” Yasu quickly rushes to the girl.

“Fool! What do you think
you’re doing? You only make yourself suffer. It’s no use! You even
can’t remember her name!” said the flower.

Yasu ignores it. He
stands in front of the girl now. But the girl isn’t looking at him. It
seems Yasu is really fading away from her memory. Yasu takes a deep
breath and wanted to call the girl’s name.

“What’s her name?” ask
Yasu to himself. He has forgotten the girl’s name. Yasu thinks hard to
remember, but no words come into his mind.

“I’ve told you it’s no
use. You already forget about her,” said the flower. Yasu stills. He
looks at the girl with sad look. The flower is right. No matter how hard
he wants to remember, it’s no use. Both he and the girl have forgotten
about each other.

“You might as well go
back here. Leave her. Others will come for you. It will keep happening.
It will be always like that. Your place is with us, among the flowers,”
told the flower.

“Among the flowers,”
mumble Yasu. Suddenly he feels the urge inside of him, a name just
prompt out. He wants to say it but feel hesitant. Yasu is still looking
at the girl. He decides to take the possibility. He doesn’t care what
would happen after it. Yasu takes a deep breath.

“Hana,” calls him. The girl stills.

“Hana,” Yasu tries for second time. The girls show a bit reaction. Yasu pulls all of his strength.

“Hana!” calls him with a louder voice.

The girl held her head
high and looking at him. Yasu wants to smile, but looking at her
confused look, the smile holds off. The girl closely looks at Yasu. They
are looking at each other. Suddenly, the girl is smiling. Her eyes are
glistering.

“I’m scared. I’m so
scared. I keep calling you but you are nowhere. I thought I’ve lose you,
just like mother. Please, never leave me, please,” cried Hana.

Yasu’s heart feels warm
with her words, but he also feels sad. He’s happy Hana still remembers
about him, but until when it would last? Until when he can still have
the feeling? Until when he can tightly hug the little girl? Yasu keeps
away the questions. He has made a decision. He won’t ask for anything.
Yasu hugs Hana closely and whisper to her ears.

“I won’t go anywhere. I
will always be with you, always,” Yasu can feel that Hana hugs him more
tightly. He hugs her back. He doesn’t want anything to separate them.

“God, if I am really an
angel send to make her happy. Please, let me stay with her. Please, let
me always be with her and make sure she’s happy. Until the time comes, I
only want to be with her,” pray Yasu inside his heart.
